Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has outright dismissed claims that Donald Trump has a real plan for peace in Ukraine. His rejection came just hours before he was set to meet U.S. Vice President JD Vance in Munich.
Trump’s talks ‘not enough,’ says Zelensky
Speaking at a major security conference in Germany, Zelensky made his stance clear. He said discussions with Trump so far were ‘definitely not enough’ to negotiate a settlement with Russia. This response comes after Trump recently suggested there was a ‘good possibility’ of ending the war.
NATO membership still a priority
Zelensky doubled down on Ukraine’s goal of joining NATO. His determination clashed with Trump’s recent statement, where he bluntly said, ‘I don’t see that happening.’ Trump made the remark following his latest call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
High-stakes meeting in Munich
Later today, Zelensky is set to meet with JD Vance and Marco Rubio in Munich. Trump’s top team is eager to push forward with efforts to resolve the Ukraine-Russia conflict. However, Zelensky appears unwilling to accept any solution that does not align with Ukraine’s long-term goals.
With Trump’s influence looming over negotiations, tensions between Washington and Kyiv are growing. Will Zelensky hold firm, or will Trump’s allies sway him? The world is watching closely as the next chapter of the war unfolds.
